Manchester United looks to sign Nathan De Cat amid competition

Summary

Manchester United is pursuing Nathan De Cat of Anderlecht as they seek to strengthen their midfield. United has already agreed to sign Ederson and aims to add two more midfielders, looking beyond the Premier League after missing out on Elliot Anderson and Sandro Tonali. At 17, De Cat has impressed scouts with his passing ability and is wanted by several clubs, including Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. His contract runs until 2027, with Anderlecht hoping to secure around £35 million if they sell him this summer. The outcome may depend on which club offers the best chance for De Cat to play senior football.
